There are few more attractive venues in the Midlands than Abbey Fields, Kenilworth

and it is here that Kenilworth Runners every spring holds an open 10 kilometre cross country race

and a one mile fun run for all.

The fun run for children their parents and dogs quickly became a local favourite as it allows people who do not normally

run to enjoy a mile around the lake and along the stream.

The 10 Km Hilly Challenge is for the dedicated runner and comprises three laps along the perimeter

of Abbey Fields and involves nine stiff climbs.

Starting in 1988 as ‘The Race against Time’ it soon changed its name to ‘The Hilly Challenge’ and has

attracted more runners as the years go by, which in it’s turn has allowed Kenilworth Runners to make

significant contributions to many local charities.
